Todoist not syncing with Amazon Echo shopping list. Noticed this has been happening recently. The sync no longer works. I disabled and reenabled the skill in the Amazon Alexa app but adding an item to my shopping list via Echo does not show up on Todoist. Shows up fine on the Alexa app though. This is a full guide to saving tasks into Todoist from your Amazon smart devices, including Amazon Echo hub and Amazon Alexa units. Today, Brian from Automat.

Manage your Todoist tasks on any Amazon Echo device hands-free with a little help from Alexa — the voice-controlled Amazon assistant that turns your words into actions. With simple voice commands, you can ask Alexa to add new tasks to your Todoist, update your shopping list, or read out the tasks on your lists. Whether you’re driving or cooking, cycling or rushing between meetings, Alexa helps you manage your list your way.
All of that is as easy as saying 'Hey Alexa.'

Todoist has announced that is is now integrated with Alexa. The new integration will enable Alexa to help you add and remember your Todoist tasks from any room in your house without you having to reach for your phone.
Alexa, as you may know, is the smart voice service that powers Amazon’s hands-free voice-controlled Echo and Echo Dot devices. It does not appear that Todoist has any plans to integrate with Siri or Cortana. There is potential that this could change in the future.
Todoist And Amazon Alexa Integration
It is now possible to tell Alexia to add tasks to your to-do list. Todoist gives an example. Say something like “Alexa, add pick up the kids to my to-do list”. That task will be automatically added to your Todoist inbox with today’s due date. You can also have Alexa add reoccurring tasks to your to-do list. Those tasks will automatically appear on your to-do list each month.
Alexa And Todoist
You can tell Alexa what items to add to your shopping list, and those items will automatically appear on a shopping list in Todoist. Another thing you can do is say: “Alexa, what’s on my to-do list?” Alexa will respond by telling you what tasks are on your to-do list.
Todoist says that the first thing you need to do is to enable Todoist in the Alexa app available on iOS, Android, and Fire tablets. Next, link your Todoist account. Your Alexa To-do and Shopping lists will be automatically synced with your Todoist.
- All the Todoist tasks you have due today will be added to your Alexa To-do list each morning.
- All the tasks on your Alexa To-do list will be added to your Todoist inbox with today’s due date.
- All the tasks in your Todoist “Alexa Shopping List” project will automatically be added to your Alexa Shopping list, and vice versa.
- Any tasks you edit, complete, or delete in Todoist will be automatically updated on your Alexa To-do list, and vice versa.
